Full stack technical testing: from the UI to the infrastructure that delivers it; from the requirements to the deployment; from test plans to test execution to security testing to release management and everything in between.
Full end-to-end quality assurance.
From the front end that your users interact with, to the back end that keeps your product running, I've been testing this stuff for a long time.
Your users judge you on the front end, I ensure they have the best experience with it. Design and requirements, device compatibility, accessibility, usability and performance: Get these wrong and your brand can take a hit. My in-depth, under the surface testing approach gets your product to your users and leaves the best impression.
The API's, databases, micro services, cloud infrastructure and all those components that your users don't know about - I've always tested this side of your software. If it's broken in the back end, it's your entire product at risk.
I work with developers to improve application and infrastructure security. If you've received a penetration test report for your product, I can help make sense of it, and ensure that your remediation is successful.
I've held Certified Ethical Hacker certification, I use a variety of tools and applications to drill down into your application and business logic to find vulnerabilities and issues that could pose a threat to security. As a test analyst who understands the entire application under test, I've been well placed to know where to start digging in order to uncover vulnerabilities and threats.
Quality extends beyond the application; it's the day to day processes, the team enablement, the standards that all projects must meet, the triage and the production issues investigations.
Not just the testing, but how the whole development team approaches quality.
From single changes to full big-bang deployments, I've been through thousands of code and feature releases over the years. I've seen what works, and crucially - what doesn't. I've implemented Release Management processes, improved release success, and ensured that product releases work seamlessly.
I've built technical testing teams from the ground up, led testing teams throughout long-term projects, managed and mentored test analysts, and led project testing for over two decades.
I've spent almost 20 years practising Agile and Scrum methodologies, have held Certified Scrum Master certification, and have helped organisations shape their Agile approach into a process that works for them.
I'm Paul Nisbett, an independent QA and cybersecurity consultant. For well over 2 decades I've helped teams find the defects and vulnerabilities that matter — and put the processes in place so they stay found.
